Chapter 635: Heads are rolling
Xiang Lian handed over the position of Izumo County Governor. However, he did not leave the county town immediately, but stayed in a different courtyard in the city. While cleaning up his furniture, he was searching to sell the yard. No matter how few mosquitoes are, it is still meat. It is always beneficial to sell it for a few dollars. He guessed that his future life would be far less than before.
Although the night was already deep, he still sat in the study room wither and drank a silence. This time the defeat was unexpected and it was a complete defeat.
The door was gently pushed open, and a man in black flew into the room, turned around and closed the door, and sat opposite him.
"Sir, I've found out clearly." The visitor took the wine handed over by Xiang Lian, took a sip, and said, "It's He Rentu. He Rentu has been hiding his traces next to Princess Zhaohua."
Xiang Lian was excited, "It would be no wonder if He Rentu really said that, but in this way, our guilt was a little lighter. Who made the information from above have such a big mistake? Didn't He Rentu and Yinggu both did not leave their nests in Yuejing? Well, we know nothing about such a big crocodile, and it is natural that we have failed this time."
"What the lord said is, in this way, Lord Cao will not blame us too much. After returning to Chang'an, he will naturally be reused." The visitor nodded repeatedly.
"That's the case, but after I go back, someone will always take the blame for this matter, and I can't escape. However, Lord Cao will also understand in his heart that after taking it for a while, he will find an opportunity to compensate me." Xiang Lian smiled: "Although Lord Cao is young, he has nothing to say about being a person and doing things. By the way, what's going on outside now? It's hard for me to go out now, and I can't inquire about it."
"The city is calm, but Geng Qiancheng has some tricks and dealt with the officials in just a few seconds. Now those people are using their strength to take care of themselves in front of them!" The visitor smiled.
"These officials are not wearing a big pile of shit in their pants. How dare Geng Qiancheng use it with confidence?" Xiang Lian laughed.
"He is indeed using these people, and he says nothing about the past and does not blame him." The man said, "It is naturally not an ordinary person to dare to take over the officials of Izumo County. However, Izumo County has calmed down now, but the five counties below are now in chaos, and our officials have all been left with seals."
Xiang Lian made a haha, "Although this move is a little unethical, it is also good to make them feel disgusted. How can Geng Qiancheng deal with this?"
"The officials he brought were each escorted by more than a hundred soldiers and went to various counties to take office. It seems that some heads will be lost." The visitor smiled.
"Then let them kill. Sometimes, killing people may not necessarily establish authority." Xiang Lian said: "This is the only one of you who has not revealed your head. Be careful yourself and don't contact anyone else. Just contact me with a single line. Mingguo Eagle Nest is so powerful that our dark spots inside are scattered, and the open ones are not good enough. Your line must be hidden deeper. The people in this Zhiyun County cannot find anything on the left and right. If it is too clean, they will be worried. However, people like you will not arouse their suspicion."
"I understand. There is no big deal, I will never come up." The visitor nodded.
"By the way, what did Geng Qiancheng and the others deal with the bandits captured by the Ming army?"
"There is no news at all. Qi Kang and Qin Chao were imprisoned in the county government's back office."
"That Bian Liang is dead or alive now, and there is no news at all?"
"I can't see anyone in my life, and I can't see a corpse when I die!" said Lai Ren.
"I want to see how they deal with these bandits of up to two thousand people!" Xiang Lian smiled and raised his neck, slapped his glass of wine.
In the backyard of the government office, Geng Qiancheng stood in a squad. In front of him, the Queen of Ming Dynasty Min Ruoxi was playing chess with He Rentu. The black and white colors on the chessboard were strangled together. Geng Qiancheng's chess skills were not low, but for a moment, he could not tell who would win or lose.
With a snap, as Min Ruoxi fell a chess piece, he looked up at He Rentu with a smile. He Rentu frowned and thought for a while, shook his head, and threw the chess piece into the chess box, "The Empress wins."
Geng Qiancheng looked at the chessboard in a narrow eye and calculated for a while. He was shocked to find that Min Ruoxi, who was holding white, had a great victory. She had previously looked like she was strangled into black and white. With the fall of this chess piece, there were at most five steps. The entire dragon that He Rentuo would be slaughtered completely. At that time, I am afraid that the chessboard would be covered with whiteness and clean.
"Mr. Geng, I heard that the city of Chuyun County has become peaceful these days. It's good to deal with those officials." Min Ruoxi turned her head and looked at Geng Qiancheng, "Is it necessary to talk about the prisoners when I come in to see me today?"
"Yes, Empress." Geng Qiancheng bent down and said, "Izuyun County has always been a rampant bandit gang, and the government orders are not in line with Qi's people. Our Ming Empire cannot tolerate these things, so we naturally have to eliminate these disasters. Therefore, Qi Kang, Qin Chao's two major bandit leaders, and the subordinates are preparing to execute them publicly and hang them in front of all the people in the city of Qiyun County."
"These two people have harmed so many people over the years, so they are naturally dead." Min Ruoxi smiled and said, "But this alone is probably not enough. The bandits in Izuyun County have been suffering for many years and are entangled with the local area. I am afraid that most people have some connections with these bandit gangs. If only two bandit leaders are killed, it will not take long. The spring breeze will blow again. At that time, Li Kang and Wang Chao will appear again. Lord Geng, are you going to suppress the bandits all the time?"
Geng Qiancheng was stunned.
"Izumo County used to be the junction of the three kingdoms, but in the future it will be the junction of the four kingdoms. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this place and says he wants to build it into a thoroughfare of the four kingdoms. If the bandits are not in a clear way, how could this happen?" Min Ruoxi said.
"What does Empress mean?" Geng Qiancheng's body shook and his face turned pale a little.
"How can I kill two people enough?" Min Ruoxi smiled faintly, "Mr. Geng, Master He lost this game. You go and pick up the black piece on the chessboard into the chessboard." After leaving this sentence, Min Ruoxi stood up and went straight to the house.
Geng Qiancheng walked to the chessboard and slowly picked up the strangled black dragon into the chess box. Looking at the white chessboard, the last few black flags held in his hand could no longer be held and fell on the chessboard.
He Rentu stood up and patted Geng Qiancheng on the shoulder: "There must be a serious punishment in troubled times. In this situation in Izuyun County, if you don't kill people, and blood flows into a river, can you reverse this trend in one fell swoop?"
"The official understands!" Geng Qiancheng's voice trembled a little.
One day later, the entire Izumo County City was stunned by an order from the county magistrate's office. Since the Ming Empire took over Izumo County City and the county magistrate Geng Qiancheng took office, it seems that there has been no big change. Ordinary people found that those who usually take care of them still care about them, and they should do whatever they should do in their daily lives.
It seemed that everything had not changed. This made them, who were already used to the past, feel relieved. Although they had changed their masters, Izumo County was still Izumo County.
But early this morning, red notices were posted throughout the city, and fast horses also ran to the counties under Izumo County with notices covered with the county seal.
The announcement is long, but the central meaning is only one.
"kill!"
The leader of the two major bandit gangs, Qi Kang and Qin Chao, were judged to be the first to decide!
The two captured gangs of bandits totaled 1,857, and were sentenced to death!
The lives of nearly two thousand people were caught by this light notice.
No wonder even though Geng Qiancheng had decided to kill people to establish his authority, killing nearly two thousand people at once like this made him weak. When Min Ruoxi ordered him to pick up all the black chess on the board, he already understood what Min Ruoxi meant.
"What a cruel girl!" In the courtyard, Xiang Lian accidentally broke the precious porcelain cup in his hand. Most people thought that Geng Qiancheng, the county ruthless man, was ruthless, but he knew that such a big killing would not be the one county magistrate dared to take charge. Without Min Ruoxi's approval, Geng Qiancheng would definitely not dare to do so.
He sighed to the sky, "Closing it out, let's go back to Chang'an today!"
The day after Xiang Lian left Izumo County, the Pili Camp was fully armed and led a group of bandits outside the city with ropes. The two bandit leaders Qi Kang and Qin Heng were tied to the top of the city.
Today is different than usual. Even He Rentu, who had not shown up since entering the city, appeared above the city of Izumo County. At the bottom of the city, Yang Zhi was even more attentive. The soldiers of the Pili Camp were unsheathed and the arrows were rolled in tight precautions.
Geng Qiancheng walked slowly to the city, looked at the crowded heads above and below the city, and said sternly: "This life is full of evil, and you will be reincarnated as a good person in the next life. The Ming Empire, for bandits, die!"
A bright red stamp fell from above the city.
Two men in black walked up to the city with Qi Kang and Qin Chao clamped the hemp rope around the head and neck of the two. The two had already been nullified of martial arts. At this moment, they knew that the deadline was coming, and their bodies were as limp as mud. As a man in black pulled the rope, the two were pulled up to the sky in an instant, and they bounced a few times, then hung straight in the air, drifting with the wind.
At the city, Yang Zhi waved his hand and pulled out more than a hundred bandits with a rope, kicked them to the bend of the knee. The prisoners in front of him knelt down heavily. Before they could react, the sharp steel knife behind him had already been cut off, and the heads fell into dust and blood spurted out like spring water.
After killing three rows in a row, the remaining bandits finally reacted, and they were trying to kill them all. They struggled and cried, but as long as they were slightly more powerful, the soldiers who had already been waiting behind them immediately slashed their backs with heavy swords. They broke their legs on the spot, then dragged them out horizontally and vertically, and then added another knife.
Chapter completed!
